From Redmond With Love, Part 2

Oh, hello! The MSIE team sent us another cake. This time, sadly, I wasn’t around to taste it, but it looks much nicer than the old one! Internet Explorer just started getting color, it seems like!

Here it is, photo courtesy of robcee:

I hope it tasted as delicious as the first one!

  2. Nice detail from these guys.

    You should send them another one when they release the IE8 with the recipe -how to do the cake, like the source of it, so they could improve it :P-

    PS: Sorry by my patetic and uninteligible english, I speak spanish an only know english via web -you know…. [… shortened by admin]

    PSS: Where have you put the releases to maintain 8000 downloads simultaneously during a day? WOW! (world of warcraft)

    PSSS: Firefox is cool. Seriously, it must be nice to work developing something like that.

  3. Aww…that was nice of them. I wonder what kind of cake Mozilla will send back on the IE8 launch.

  5. What? Only 3 comments? I was expecting 8 million comments on this post like on the last one. :) Anyway, cool that they keep sending the cakes. It looks like they are at least making one good product.

  6. Justin: Well, they are outsourcing it, so I am unsure if that counts :)

  7. Fred: check the HTML source for the image link. I think it’s somehow broken…

  8. Thanks. Wordpress always tries to be so much smarter than I am when it comes to HTML markup, so it adds about 20 more tags than I did, just to be safe :-/ The picture is now served from the local box again. If this gets too much traffic, I’ll change it again.

  9. If you’re thinking of sending a cake back to them, please make sure that the delivery service doesn’t crash as soon as they leave the office.

  10. I hope you guys send a cake back to them in time for IE8. Remember to include the recipe!

  14. @12 AwesomeBar is like cilantro: you either love it or hate it. Binary choice. Nothing else ;)
